Bringing learning to life through drama

Perform for Schools is the primary school division of Perform, working with schools to deliver in-depth curriculum-based drama workshops and free workshops to school children.

So far this year, Perform have delivered over 3,000 workshops in schools and run over 30 After School Clubs every week. Our Explorer curriculum-based workshops are varied and we ensure that each and every one is filled with engaged learning for the children, usually linked to a topic they are covering at school.

"The activities that the girls completed were relevant to the topic, enjoyable and helpful to support their learning." - Ms R Mackarell

We could be journeying back to the Great Fire of London: re-enacting baker Thomas Farynor finishing his final bake, extinguishing his fire and going to bed as we then feel the panic rise on the streets of London. We may be trekking deep in the Rainforest, looking up at the heavy canopy and down at the forest floor as we spot some amazing (and somtimes scary) creatures! Or we might be bringing some amazing pieces of literature to life, helping the children to get a new perspective whilst deepening their understanding. From We're Going on a Bear Hunt to A Midsummer Night's Dream, we love bringing a story to life using improvisation, drama and adventure.

What schools say about us

We're proud to receive some amazing feedback from the schools we visit and are pleased to get so many repeat bookings. We know our facilitators are amazing but it's always lovely to get great feedback! Do take a look at our Twitter page for wonderful action shots of the children enjoying our workshops plus comments from schools.

If you'd like us to talk to your school about running one of our workshops, do ask them to contact us.

"All our children absolutely loved their personalised workshops and they were a brilliant hook to our new topics." - Ms F Pretty
